Fri, 02 Dec 2016 16:53:34 +0000http://janeshealthykitchen.com/?p=18710These babies taste luscious, decadent and divine. I can’t believe they’re so incredibly easy! The best dark chocolate truffles are made with pure coconut milk and 100% bakers chocolate. Creamy and dreamy inside, just like French “Truffes au chocolat”, amazingly they’re healthy and Paleo, free of gluten, grains, sugar, dairy, and GMO’s. These won’t spike your blood sugar or cause weight gain if you use the suggested non-glycemic sweetener. Yay! This basic truffle recipe is so simple. For the coatings, roll them in optional nuts, cocoa, or any of the variety of flavors below. These make a beautiful dessert or gift. Trust me on this! For the most wonderful flavor and texture in every chocolate truffle, please […]]]>Paleo Spinach-Walnut Diphttp://janeshealthykitchen.com/paleo-spinach-walnut-dip/
Fri, 02 Dec 2016 15:19:24 +0000http://janeshealthykitchen.com/?p=13925Here’s an easy dip that’s bursting with flavor and nutrients. It tastes vibrant and alive, like a fresh pesto. Life force in food is not easy to measure, however we all know instinctively that fresh foods have lots of Qi and processed foods do not. So freshly harvested veggies, meats, and nuts are rich in life force. On the other hand, processed, heat treated, canned, frozen, refined, chemically sprayed, and GMO foods are lower in nutrients and life force. Many of the foods on our grocery shelves have little or no life force at all. Most packaged foods have been treated in some way that damages nutrients in the ingredients. I sometimes […]]]>My New Updated Website!http://janeshealthykitchen.com/my-new-updated-website/

Fri, 02 Dec 2016 05:39:19 +0000http://janeshealthykitchen.com/?p=18286Is non-GMO food safe? The shocking answer is NO! Toxic pesticides and Monsanto’s herbicide Glyphosate are widely used on both GMO and non-GMO foods. To be safe we need to look for foods that are Organic and Monsanto-free. This article shows surprising new scientific research, clearly linking many chronic diseases to Glyphosate. While correlation does not imply causation, scientists used the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (a measure of the strength of the linear relationship between two variables) to analyze the relationship. They found a very high level of correlation and P-value between certain chronic diseases and the growing use of the herbicide Glyphosate on crops, including non-GMO crops. Several courageous scientists have completed studies of disease trends, and the news […]]]>Holiday Cookies with Non-Toxic Royal Icinghttp://janeshealthykitchen.com/holiday-cookies-with-non-toxic-royal-icing/
Fri, 02 Dec 2016 05:10:15 +0000http://janebarthelemy.com/?p=19274If you like to decorate cookies, but thought you’d have to give it up, think again! I loved holiday cookies as a child – it was an annual family tradition. A new concept in healthier cookies, these are free of gluten, grains, dairy, and sugar. I used my Paleo Holiday No-Sugar Cookies with Non-toxic Paleo Food Colors, and the Royal Icing recipe below. If you use the suggested non-glycemic chicory sweetener, then these are far superior to the usual sugary holiday treats. While these cookies are quite tasty, I can’t say they have any nutritional value. Ha Ha! I’m offering a “healthier” non-glycemic alternative to keep a rich family tradition alive. Royal Icing is easy with Just Like Sugar Table […]]]>Best Paleo Sweetenershttp://janeshealthykitchen.com/paleo-sweeteners/
Thu, 01 Dec 2016 11:52:41 +0000http://janeshealthykitchen.com/?p=1838By Jane Barthelemy. The spotlight is on Paleo Sweeteners now, because we’re living in times when sugars and refined carbs in processed foods are causing epidemic health challenges worldwide. Many people are turning to the Paleo diet for guidance. What did our ancestors eat? What is the best diet that humans were genetically designed to eat? By following the ancestral diet, many people hope to restore health and balance in their bodies. See also my research in 325 Sweeteners,Which is Best?, and Natural Sweeteners, A Closer Look. I confess that I have a strong bias in favor of low-carb sweeteners because of our […]]]>Paleo Food Colors, Non-Toxichttp://janeshealthykitchen.com/paleo-food-colors-non-toxic/
Thu, 01 Dec 2016 06:01:02 +0000http://janebarthelemy.com/?p=19281Here’s a healthy solution to commercial dyes. Artificial dyes are one of the worst toxins in our food, found in candies, ice cream, and Oh No! Christmas cookies! These poisons are linked to cancer, brain tumors, and child hyperactivity, yet USA food manufacturers pour 15 million pounds of artificial dyes into our foods each year. These easy homemade colors are made from everyday foods, and they work perfectly in frostings, cakes, candies, etc. Even better, they’re quite nutritious! I first prepared the liquid concentrates below, and then added them to Non-Toxic Royal Icing. Here’s how to make the liquid colors. (Yes, you can find commercial “non-toxic” food dyes in grocery stores and online. Watkins Food Colors has […]]]>5 Top Paleo Sweetenershttp://janeshealthykitchen.com/5-top-paleo-sweeteners/

Top ratings go to Raw Honey, Chicory Root, Lo Han Guo, Swerve Sweetener, and Stevia leaves – raw and unprocessed, the healthiest Paleo sweeteners. The criterion are based on purity, stable blood sugar, and balanced metabolism. With a growing epidemic of diabetes, obesity, and metabolic disorder, we need sweeteners that stop the sugar cycle in it’s tracks. Yet I find most grocery stores completely lacking in healthy sweetener alternatives. In many parts of the world we have to hunt and gather them online. A few of these top sweeteners are expensive, but they’re all still far less costly […]]]>Paleo Thumbprint Cookieshttp://janeshealthykitchen.com/paleo-thumbprint-cookies/

These sweet, crunchy morsels will melt in your mouth. Thumbprint cookies are easy and fun for kids to make. They look and taste just like my Mom’s, however this Paleo adapted recipe is far more nutritious, free of gluten, grains, and sugars. My favorite filling is cranberry orange that’s a deep red color and will zing your taste buds into delirious joy! A squeeze bottle makes filling them super-easy to fill. Yield: about 36 cookies. A squeeze bottle makes filling the cookies super-easy. I trimmed the squeeze tip to make […]]]>Paleo Holiday No-Sugar Cookieshttp://janeshealthykitchen.com/paleo-holiday-no-sugar-cookies/
Fri, 18 Nov 2016 15:21:07 +0000http://janeshealthykitchen.com/?p=9579Yesss!! Now we can make crispy holiday cookies free of gluten, grains, and sugars. Are you wondering how the dough is so flexible and easy to cut in shapes? Aha! The secret ingredient is coconut butter, which is pure coconut meat, ground. It’s unprocessed, low in carbs, and delicious. Time to get out your rolling pin and cookie cutters! These yummy cookies have a zingy lemon-ginger flavor. Here’s a tip: Keep the dough rather cool or chilled, and don’t handle it too much with your hands, which might make it soft and more difficult to roll out. Makes about 70 2-inch cookies. The dough is pliable, easy to roll out and cut […]]]>
